Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 373 in 2018 to 394 in 2022 — over 4 years.

+5.6%

Why only 2 data points?

Private school enrollment comes from the NCES Private School Universe Survey (PSS), which is collected every other year — not annually like public-school data. The most recent published collection is 2021–22; NCES targeted spring 2026 for the 2023–24 release — we'll load it as soon as it's published.
